A try at NGC 1532.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hi,

After seeing Steve's magnificent image of NGC 1532 I had to have a go at this spectacular galaxy.

I'm happy with the result even with only 74 minutes of data, certainly worth further imaging even with my basic setup.

8" F/4 astrograph HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader type III coma corrector.

19 x 2 minute subs ISO 6400 and 9 x 4 minute ISO 1600. Stacked in DSS, processed in PS Cs2.
Image cropped.
Also full frame.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice one Justin. I'm working on this target too actually (currently at 520mins)

Cheers,
Justin.

Nice one Justin. It's a fascinating object. Are you going back for more data? Would be interesting to see what you can squeeze out of your system.

Excellent image Justin!

I must have a go at this one myself sometime. I didn't even know about it. Stellarium seems to have the size incorrect so I ignored it.

Thanks David!:thumbsup:

Yep, hope to get more data next new moon.



Thanks Jo!:thumbsup:



Thanks Kevin!:thumbsup:

Yep, glad I had a go with this one.:)

Cheers,

Justin.

Great capture Justin, for me galaxy images are always cool to look at whether they are processing masterpieces from a mountain top or quick snaps with a basic setup like this one :thumbsup:
